Workshop

Beginner

Why do we talk? How useful is it?Let's work together in small teams to make products in complete silence, experiencing how talking both benefits and stifles collaboration.What does collaboration really mean? How can this experience improve your collaboration?

In this experience, which is modeled after experiments run by Dr. Sallyann Freudenberg and Katherine Kirk, participants will experience a* 90 minute period of complete silence while working together to build prosthetic hands for charity, noting down each time they have the urge to speak* 45 minute review period where our facilitators will help us look at what we wanted to say and what happened instead, along with summarizing the outcomes we experienced through silent collaboration so that participants can take back with them these enlightenments.

We will pay particular attention to re-evaluating our model of collaboration and deep diving on the things people still felt like they wanted to say -- Did they really need to? What happened when they couldn't? How did that affect the outcome? We were moved by this experience when we participated in it at Agile2017, and are excited to provide the same experiential learning and awareness of silent collaboration to our community back in DC.
